A 15 year old that know's social networking? It's not exactly a unique skill sadly.

What about carpet cleaning? I'm sure I saw Tesco had carpet cleaning machines to hire a while back. You'd need to factor in the cost of supplies into your charges. We had a teenager knock on doing that recently.

Realistically, you're best option is 'doing jobs other people don't want to'. I still think babysitting is the best choice - we pay ours about £20-£24 per night. She is fully qualified, but our previous one wasn't.

Can you iron shirts? You can get £1-2 a shirt for ironing.

I'm not 15 - im 17 :L And lol no its not. Anymore :L
I wouldn't mind baby sitting & i have had tons of experience with them but i don't have much qaulifactions to prove it.
I'm just scared no one will "Hire" me because of it

And i can't iron but i'd like to learn how. I'll have to get mum to teach me.

Sorry!

Well, it's worth learning to iron any way. And I'm surprised anyone wants qualifications from a babysitter. Don't be scared.. just try anyway.

Now is a very important part of your life to learn these 'career' life skills.. like getting rejected from jobs, working hard to earn some money, learning skills that can earn you money

Selling money/services is all about a 'win win' - you win because you get paid and get experience, the customer wins because they get the service/product they need for the right price.

true. Okay i'll talk it out with my parents & start to advertise i guess

Decluttering

Desperate parents won't be looking for qualifications, just someone who can be responsible with their kids. When there were nursery strikes on I was so close to advertising myself as a babysitter since I knew they'd be in demand! Sometimes it's enough to already be known as a decent person to someone who needs someone to watch their kids. Good luck
